Television star Hina Khan, who recently revealed her breast cancer diagnosis, has taken a brave step by cutting her hair short after her first chemotherapy session.

The 36-year-old actress, famous for her role in the TV show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” shared an emotional video on Instagram where her mother is seen weeping as the actor chops off her hair.

Addressing her fans and fellow cancer fighters, Hina wrote, "To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it’s hard, I know for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you’re facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hair—your pride, your crown? If you want to win, you’ve got to take some tough decisions. And I choose to win."

Hina emphasized the importance of making proactive choices in her fight against cancer. "I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn’t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I’ve realised my real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH, and the love I have for myself."

Hina hopes her journey will inspire others battling the disease.

"Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remain whole. I am recording my story, my journey, to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there. If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it’s worth it."

She expressed gratitude to her boyfriend, mother, and others who have supported her, referring to them as ‘MY PEOPLE,’ and asked her fans to pray for her.
